Where's Mr. Owl?

I don't know - I'm only noticing this now - but this icon from my youth looks naked...

Now I know why we all love Tootsie Pops

Epitome of a Pop Song

It always amazes me when a pop song comes out and becomes an instant classic. This one from Black Eyed Peas should be sung by people getting ready to hit the town for the next hundred years or so...Great song and video. Oh yeah, great Fergie too...

My Teen Wall

After Farrah left Charlie's Angels, she was quickly replaced by this blonde beauty. She was never replaced in my heart, and she wasn't on my bedroom wall. Both these posters graced my wall right along side Farrah.





I still love you Cheryl...

My first... love...

Small Ball

Here is some "Small Ball' courtesy of Toms River East Little League's AAA Ironbirds. The little man singles, steals second, moves to third on a ground out, and scores on a base hit. Congratulations to Number 5 on being selected to the 10-year-old All-Stars!

What I Am Listening To Now

Best Unpronounceable Song of All-Time Nominee

Every once in a while, just when you start to lose faith in music, a song comes along that picks you up, spins you around, and makes you wonder what your life was ever like without it. Such is the case with this somewhat recent release by Icelanders Sigur Ros. Track 4 off their most recent LP með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" is titled inní mér syngur vitleysingur English translation:'Within me a lunatic sings'

It's so good you have to listen (or watch) it three times...

This first YouTube clip is my favorite for obvious reasons, not the least of which are the two cute chippees jammin out, but also for capturing the essence of the song which is singing crazily and spinning happily. (Be patient thru the first 30 seconds)



The next clip is the official video



So what does it all mean, Basil? Here is a clip with English subtitles



Whether you are listening while walking, jogging, running or driving..TURN IT UP..I guarantee you won't be walking for long...

FIRST INFECTIOUS SONG OF '09

The end of the youth basketball season coupled with the start of lacrosse season has slowed my posts as well as impacted my ability to listen to new music..alas I came across this on WPRB. Click on the title to check out "Happy As Can Be" by Cut Off Your Hands. First great tune of 2009 from this band of boys from New Zealand.

Global Warming My Butt...

Gearing up for Lacrosse Season these last few weeks has not enabled me to post too frequently..Practice was scheduled to start March 1, but NOooo... An uninvited visit from -
